Riverbrewers 75G "Roselines and A New Beginning"

I have been diligently working over the past year to put together all of the components necessary to transition from my current 40G breeder over to a bigger, better, new, and improved 75G that will house my planted tank obsession. 🌱🐟

I think I have my driftwood placement ironed out, but am looking for opinions on what I have done with my layout so far.

Note: the footprint of my tank (18" x 48") is indicated by the lines drawn onto the canvas in my previous photos. The canvas I was using as a template is actually much bigger (24" x 60") than the tank. So if you think the driftwood scape is too small for the footprint of the tank, remember that I am referencing within the marker lines on the canvas, and not the entire canvas as a whole.

This will be great for roselines. Can't see to well how far the branches come to the side of the tanks but leave a few inches between the limbs and the glass so they have room to fly around they will love chasing each other around it.

Do you have plans for a current in this? Or filtration yet?

And do you have the roselines already in another tank? My local pet'smarts have then 50% off until Nov. 25 so they are only $4.99. Might be a reason to get some more to expand your family!

You should get some clay for the bottom of this tank Are you keeping with the Crypt theme I assume? The hardscape is stellar so far. I cant wait to see this come together! Got an estimated plant list yet?

Definitely will have lots of crypts. So get that clay to me NOW!! Hahaha!!!!

I already have 8 Roselines ready to transplant once the tank is good and consistent w/ all readings. I will be using an Eheim 2217 and Odyssea 500 filter on it. Definitely CO2 injection. Not 100% on a plant list yet. Plants will definitely be on the opposite side of the tank as well. Heck, plants will be everywhere!!! Hahaha!!! Here's what I have in store for my Saturday night!

Making tons of progress tonight.
Pulled the substrate from my old tank and mixed it w/ some new stuff. Kicked up the root feeding a notch w/ plenty of super secret clay mixture, some of hydrophyte's grosoil tabs, and my own hand-made substrate capsules as well.

I have the driftwood where I want it and am also pretty confident with the rockscape too. Marching on to the plants next. It is going to be a long (but fun and exciting of course) night!

Not too shabby, I will second the idea of having a variety of sizes of rock, even a variety of different thickness of branches. Have you explored tilting the branch on the very right side even further?
